Arcade Fire

Gig of the summer for me, they played a good blend of old and new. The crowd loved it and you could see the band were loving it too!

This was the second time that we'd seen Arcade Fire, the first was at Hyde Park which was excellent despite being outdoors, so I was looking forward to seeing them at an indoor venue.

The auditorium was enclosed by curtains which made the venue more comfortable and less like a barn. Didn't think much of the support act we'd seen him at Hyde Park too and were more impressed by the fact that he could play many instruments rather than the noise he made with them.

Arcade Fire were really very good. They did a good mix of old and new stuff, and some of the new songs that we hadn't taken to on the album were improved by being played live.

The whole spectacle was up to the standard we have come to expect from Arcade Fire; staging, sound, lighting, energy, the lot. The one down side was that we were quite close to the front so missed some of the things that happened behind us!

A concert like no other with a really chilled out vibe, lots of positive energy and fun and great sounding tracks that are even better live. Like most good concerts, it changes your perception of their albums and you walk away feeling that you have had a unique experience

Very good Gig. Marlay Park is a brilliant venue. Only downside I would say about the gig was the setlist wasnt what I would have chosen but it worked brilliantly anyway! I really didn't have any complaints! Pixies were also fantastic, Played an hour and 10 minutes before being cut off by MCD..Bad buzz. Still amazing!

This would absolutely have been 5 stars if it hadn't been for the shambles that was getting home from Arcade Fire. Clearly this was the fault of Marlay Park or MCD but a couple thousand people were left wandering around Rathfarnham, looking for a bus or taxi, with the group I was with getting a taxi after ringing the number on a card that we had the absolutely ludicrous luck to find tossed aside on the side of the road. This was at 1 AM, two and a half hours after the event had ended and it could quite easily have been much later. That said, all reservations were transportation related and both Arcade Fire and Pixies put on a amazing show, the former playing a lot more Suburbs and a lot less Reflektor. (The way it should be.) And they also their trademark batshit quirkiness, bringing on a man dressed as Pope Francis to tear up a picture of Miley Cyrus to Nothing Compared to you.

Absolutely amazing gig! I have seen Arcade Fire twice now and they are without doubt one of the best lice bands in the world

The performances by all artists were all faultless, really enjoyable gig. The lack of transport leaving the venue was really disappointing and went a long way to ruining the overall experience.

Amazing venue and weather contributed to a real buzz early on.i came to this gig really excited about the seeing the pixies. however, they weren't a patch on their gig in the phoenix park a few years ago. maybe its because of the missing kim. i thought they seemed disinterested.

arcade fire put on some show and the buzz was amazing.

Great gig! Marlay Park was an excellent venue. Arcade Fire put on an amazing show, they looked as if the enjoyed themselves on stage and that atmosphere rubbed off on the crowd. Ham Sandwich played a great set and are well worth seeing live, Pixies were also outstanding.

Arrived as the #Pixies where half way through their set list. Loved bounced and attempted to dance as they were superb! Had a lovely chill out after they'd finished, and chatted to lovely people. #ArcadeFire came on, and totally blew us all away! They were brilliant, timing was excellent. Made me happy, I again attempted to bounce dance and sing. The tickets were booked in March after my mother died. "After-Life" was for her, and they made it beautiful to me. Bloody Awesome gig!

It took the sunshine awhile to come through on Sunday 29th June 2014 but as we were in our taxi bound for Marlay Park it was cracking.We arrived just in time for Ham Sandwich who really rocked it and were so appreciative of those who'd made the effort to arrive for their performance. More and more people streamed in then for The Pixies and in fairness they were class live and really got the already excitably crowd really going and warmed up. The venue was well organised, I didn't have to clue all that long for toilets or beer. I did not sample any of the food on offer.You could feel the crowd's excitement growing and when Arcade Fire came on the whole of Marlay Park exploded. Their performance and interaction with the crowd was amazing and the finale was beyond words.

What a stunning setting for a truly superb performance. Having missed them in Phoenix Park nearly 7 years ago, it was well worth the wait to finally catch up.Met some really nice Canadians in the audience as well!!!!!

The acts were average, barely managing to raise much enthusiasm from the crowd. Thankfully the weather was so good that most p[eople enjoyed the day nonetheless.
